Faculty Mentoring Program
Applicants to the program are selected to be "ready" to submit RO1 proposals as the principal investigator. Readiness is gauged both in terms of an existing track record of publications and a potentially fundable area of interest. Participants will be formally paired for 12 months with one or more senior faculty members (mentor). The mentor(s) will make him/herself available to provide guidance in developing a grant proposal to be submitted for extramural funding. The mentor(s) will help identify sources of funding. The project is expected to be based on the ideas and interest of the mentee. Each mentor(s)/mentee pair will work out a schedule of meetings that best meets their own schedules and needs. In addition, there will be a series of program seminars concerning research funding in the social and behavioral sciences. We envision seminars concerning Government Funding Opportunities, Working with Private Foundations, Resources and Procedures in the University of Georgia Reserach Office, and other topics suggested by the Fellows in this program. Administration The program will be administered through the Institute for Behavioral Research. All mentors and mentees will be Fellows of IBR during the active year. Resources for Mentoring Fellows Mentoring Fellows may apply for funds to facilitate their pilot research. The exact amount of funds available will depend on decisions in the OVPR's office regarding funding. Under most circumstances, the mentee's home department will provide release time from teaching and/or departmental service. Appointments Nominations for the 2007-2008 academic year are due by Thursday, March 14, 2008 and should be forwarded to the Director, Institute for Behavioral Research, 514 Boyd Graduate Studies Research Center. Appointments will be announced by April 28, and the program will begin with the academic year (August, 2008). Candidates must be nominated by their department head. All faculty members are eligible to apply. The application will include the qualifications of the mentee and a brief description of the proposed research project. A mentor will be selected by the Steering Committee of the Mentoring Program. A committee of senior researchers at the Institute will review applications for Behavioral Research. For additional information, contact Dr. Steven Beach (542-1806) or Ms. Sandra Gary (542-6100). Credit Each mentee is expected to submit at least one research proposal for extramural funding. The proposal will be credited jointly to the mentee's home department and to IBR. If the proposal is funded it will be administered at IBR and the overhead return split equally between IBR and the mentee's home department. The IBR potion of overhead return will be made available for the PI's research use as per current IBR policy. To apply for Mentoring Fellow Status please provide the following information: > Nominee
